Das Velhas River
The das Velhas River, of which the source was found to be the waterfall Andorinhas located in the municipality of Ouro Preto, is by length the major tributary of the basin of the São Francisco river. Its water flows into that river at a place called Barra do (Dam of) Guaicuí, municipality of da Palma (MG).
==Historic importance==
The das Velhas river has been of great importance in the development of the central region of Minas Gerais, because it is one of the principal roads by which the Golden Century evolved. From its source, the das Velhas River passes through other historical cities in the region, among others Sabará, Santa Luzi, Belo Horizonte and so on.
Recent academic research indicates that the das Velhas river could have been the original path to the discovery of gold in Minas Gerais. By this theory,the explorers from the Northeast walked along the banks of the São Francisco river and went on along the Das Velhas River. It is a more natural passage but much longer than the road from Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo. Passing through the central region of Minas Gerais, the explorers discovered gold and precious stones. Once found, knowing the approximate places, the Paulistas (as people from São Paulo are called) swiftly went through the rough terrain of the mountains by a much shorter but much more difficult and dangerous route. The dispute over the existing mines led to the War of the Emboabas, at the end of which the region, before becoming part of the final São Vicente, (actually region of São Paulo), became a Capitania administered directly by the Portuguese Crown.
